I just applied to Tulane University.

...guys, I just applied to college. *horrified stare*

The more horrifying feeling comes when you're waiting for acceptance/rejection letters to come in. Because dammit, that's scary.

One down, eleven more to go.

...I can't believe I just applied to college. College. And next week I get to buy my cap and gown and...oh my god.

*pats*

Deep breath. In eight months, you'll be packing your life up into a handful of boxes.

...you are not helping.

... sorry!

BUT IN EIGHT MONTHS YOU WILL BE FREE AND OFF TO FABULOUS ADVENTURES. OH THE PLACES YOU'LL GO, THE PEOPLE YOU'LL SEE!


And I'm gonna stop quoting Dr Seuss now.,

*mollified* Well. That's slightly less traumatizing.

Isn't it absolutely THRILLING?! I remember being so excited to get away from my parents and out into the "real world".

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

*snort* I'll be glad to get away from Ellensburg, that's for sure. (I have heard that one of the EHS grads -- class of '07 -- the one who went far, far away to Ithaca College in NY state is really homesick, and I feel bad for him. At least I had practice what with Stanford and Brown?)

(BTW, could you friend my alter-ego journal bardicvoices? I keep trying to do ten things at once and getting kicked off your journal. *wide eyes* All that's going to be on there is various bits of writing and writing-related notes.)

Yep, friended! Haha, I like that you have an alter-ego. Does she wear spandex?

I was homesick for about a week. But I talk to my parents alllllllllllll the time, so that probably helped.

Thanks! *wide eyes* No, she's totally a leather girl.

I had it bad the first couple of days at Brown, but otherwise I was fine. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I'm gone for a couple months at a time instead of a couple weeks, though.

... see, I read that sentence, and totally did not think "leather girl" in a PG-13 or lower setting. Oh, fandom, look what you've done to my brain.

I think the internet makes everything so much easier. Emailing photos, chatting, just basic easy ways to keep in touch, and it makes the distance a bit easier to deal with.

*facepalm* And I was thinking a cool X-Men rif. Well.

Oh, yeah. Definitely.
